Maria Schell .... Grushenka;Claire Bloom .... Katya, The female characters played well off each other.
Lee J. Cobb .... Father Karamazov Cobb unbending with favorites who anoints the chosen one with forgiveness
Albert Salmi .... Smerdjakov William Shatner .... Alexi Karamazov Star Trek Captain character is not to be seen in this role, but his promise does shine through. Richard Basehart .... Ivan Karamazov The Submarine Captain of the future TV series, his strong voice, in this role he is a great. Judith Evelyn .... Mme. Anna Hohlakov Edgar Stehli .... Grigory Harry Townes .... Ippoli Kirillov Miko Oscard .... Ilyusha Snegiryov David Opatoshu .... Capt. Snegiryov Simon Oakland .... Mavrayek Frank DeKova .... Capt. Vrublevski (as Frank de Kova) Jay Adler .... Pawnbroker I truly enjoyed this movie, it is one of my favorites, and has stayed with me over 40 years. That being said it definably struck a fiber cord with in my being
